The NMLF
What is the NMLF and why is it different from other Leagues? First off the NMLF is here to stay! the NMLF has several things to offer all NMLF organizations and it's players. Their are several leagues that want you to believe that they have a better management team, truth is how can you manage a league if you could not manage a minor league franchise? just a question you might want to ask yourself before you join another league.The NMLF has a 3 former NFL players managing the NMLF so they are familiar with the way business at this level needs to be run, oh and I did not mention that both have won championships at this level.Do you as an owner want to be part of a league that the commissioner takes sides with teams because they are a winning organization and they will always get the benefit of doubt? are he tells one team one thing and the other team something different, I think they call this straddling the fence.In the NMLF our Asst Commissioner heads the disciplinary committee and has no alliances with any teams in the league he just wants the league, teams and players to succeed.There are several leagues in the spring.The Gulf Coast league, Texas Louisiana League,Tufl, MPFL,and the NMLF the 1st league has an all star game but does not offer you much more. The 2ND league has no all star game they just collect your league fees, give you a schedule and that's it.The next 1 plays high school and college rules they also collect league fees give you a schedule and play a Northern Division all star game but the league has Southern teams what sense does that make? The last league is new and only 1 administrator and that's the treasurer, what message does that send? The NMLF has a complete staff that works for the owners and its players.The NMLF will do everything in it's power to help teams succeed financially. Why does the league care you my ask? the answer is because the league is only as strong as it's weakest team. Lets look at the teams that left the NMLF. 1 team won the championship. The commissioner let that team join the league during week 3 and allowed that team to add to their roster all year long with no reprimands when he knew that was against league policy. The 2ND team was the runner up, and the commissioner said they were suppose to be fined for using an illegal suspended player during a play-off game and that game was to be forfeited by that team, it didn't happen! The last 2 teams won a combine 6 games out of 20. So what did the league lose? 2 organizations that did not want to follow rules, and and 2 franchises that were not strong enough to be compettitive. Now what does the league still have? it has 2 franchises that finished 8-2, 1 team that finished 6-4, 2 teams that finished 5-5 and 1 that finished 4-6 and this team could have easily finished 6-4. So ask yourself as an owner of your franchise do you want to play in a competitive league that plays NFL rules, that will help your franchise succeed financially and that cares about your players, are a league that just wants an abundance of teams, and just collects your league fees and gives you nothing else!
